Nice gold by the way!
 
18 g by specific gravity.
The better bit, though any bit to me is good and better than zip, is 13. Honestly I smile at points. Yep im easily pleased. Anything's a win and dont let anyone tell you it aint.
Shouldn't have been there, but smiled at me like "hello, wasn't like I was hiding bro!" :D

Last day out for the next couple of weeks.
Great day weather wise. Yesterday had a fish and used my go to plastics, orangy yellow ones. Reds were going nuts on em. Caught several small throw backs and three keepers in the hour I was there. Note to fishos, leave the misses at home. Bite was good but she had enough. Fair enough we drove sight seeing for a few hours and stopped for a fish. But leave when they're on!? Still was fun. The one in the picture is I'd guess just under 2 lb. They fight great in shallow water.

Today my last swing maybe for the year. Hope to get another couple in. Maybe.
Got a fainty. About 8 inches down is a good guess. 1 g boomerang. Nice.
Not far away a wierdy, up, wobble signal. Dug to a foot deep still the same. Pain as, hard compact ground that I was convinced was untouched. Had to go back to the car to get the probe, deeper, nope not out. Sus its now for sure junk but hey, you cant walk away, back for the crow bar. An hour later, from first detecting it, foot plus in concrete like compacted ground, I hate that stuff, hard clay and gravel a coin. Dont even know what it is! Actual coin or token!? But after real careful look with a magnifyer and glasses and both I am 100% convinced it has imprinted by someone, no if or buts, 37 on it. Even told the misses, take your time and look with the magnifyer and whatever, what do you see? Her answer 37. The photo I struggled to get it showed right.
But does anyone know a reason old coins were numbered by imprinting them? Id love to know as it definately is or has an imprinted number 37 on it.
Here it is and the 1 g boomerang below it on it. Yep i scraped the pick tip right over the coin. Thankfully not a Sov :D

huh? sorry, not sure I follow? Did I say something wrong?
No, not that I know of.

Thanks, I just don't follow the grudge comment or what the pictures are in reference to or what advise I gave?
No drama mate. All good.
Not one to dredge up stuff other than to joke friendly.
Good luck out there mate. :Y:

It's almost as bad as junk e-mails isn't it. Advertise it in the Sponser Trade if you like, just don't send me spam.

What are you on about JD3??
All good. Just saying stuff is with me buried mate. Forgotten. I never hold grudges. Im actually feeling a bit lost these days having to explain it to be honest. But I guess times and generation understanding change. Im a Dinosaur I guess mate.
I do old style have a laugh. Maybe im too old mate and that's a forgotten Aus trait. I actually think it is to be honest.
So often these days I feel like taping up my mouth. Or stapling it shut. Is there a way of doing it cyber wise now?
The old Aus is gone and dusted I think. :/
Ignore me. My language, sentiment and ideas are too ancient to bother with unless one has an Encyclopedia Britannica. Or a time machine. :lol:
 
"IT" is for whoever and whatever the Hell the subject is about. If this "topic" isn't about gold or pictures of gold, we truly don't want to discuss "IT".
Maybe everyone involved in the "IT" topic should start a Thread about "IT".
